The 2023 GMC Sierra HD has been caught testing, wearing mild camo on the front and rear end. According to many reports, the new truck is about to receive a refresh styling with a variety of changes and updates. Moreover, thanks to first spy shots, we have some early look at the heavy-duty pickup’s revised exterior. What’s more, the GMC Sierra HD will have a refreshed body and a revised cabin as well. So, expect a plethora of upgrades, which should result in a more modern cabin.
Like before, we expect the same 6.6-liter gas-powered V8 to power the standard model. However, this engine is upgradable, and you can get a 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8, which has a significantly higher torque rating.
